Life would be much simpler if I had a dishwasher other than me. And the housemate. I've still got to clean the cat box tonight (he has bad lungs, he'll end up in the ER if he scoops out the box).
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, dear, yes. I do not like having to handwash all my dishes. The last time, I ended up using way too many disposables.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I put saucepans and skillets in the dishwasher. The care instructions that came with them don't recommend it, but I do it anyway, and it's fine. And now we have a whole line of Farberware that's dishwasher-safe: [link]
Who washes cast iron? Is that a thing?
It's not really a thing, but some people do it. And newer cast iron does have different rules, I think, although I am skeptical. I myself am not as strict as your grandma - I might use water and a stiff brush on it if that seems called for, just no soap. There's water in the stuff I cook in it, after all.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Franny is upgrading her hobbit costume this year, so I am going to be an elf. I have a red velvet cape and pointy ears so far, hoping that's all I need. Maybe a leaf broach if I can rustle one up.

We use water and salt on cast iron all the time. And we basically almost always cook on cast iron.

I hand wash my iron skillets, but I never put them in the dishwasher.

Stopped by Tuesday Morning to check the yarn selections, and I found some scrumptious Swiss chocolate, dark chocolate with coffee bits. I wonder if this bar will last the night.

Oh, yeah, I'll scour with salt on occasion. That's a good trick.

And the cat box is done. I'm just going to have to do this every day so it's not an onerous task.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I made peace with daily dishwashing when I got cats that eat wet food. The dishes never really pile up to anything daunting that way.
